Recap
I really should update this more... And not just when I'm teary-eyed. :P
Today was kind of hectic a little. Yesterday, at the Writing Lab, I signed up to that the GSP Test (grammar, spelling, punctuation) so I can get the class code for this course I need to take for my major. Turns out, the test costs $35 to take. I went to campus early today I see if I could move my time slot to 11am (it was originally at 10:30am, during my Moral Issues class). Got the time moved and then whipped out my trusty debit card to pay for it. Turns out, they only accept checks or exact cash, neither of which did I have on me. I didn't have time to run back to the apartment to get my check book, so I asked if my time slot could be moved to after my classes (3pm). They okayed it.
Did the class thing. Actually talked to the girls behind me in Moral Issues. Usually I don't because they annoy the hell out of me. I skipped Developmental Psychology to study for my Public Relations test. Good thing too. I think I did pretty well on it. After I got out of PR, I caught the bus right as it arrived at the bus stop. But then the driver up and left to use the restroom, which would have been fine had he not lingered behind the bus when he got back, talking on his cell phone. -.- Time crunch! He finally got back on the bus and drove me the ten minutes it takes to get back to my apartment. I ran up and grabbed my check book and switched out my keys. Drove myself to campus and parked in metered parking.
Got to the Writing Lab at 2:15pm and took the test. Took around half an hour; that thing was so friggin' long. I waited around while the grader did her thing. Turns out, I did really x5 well. :) Yay.
Tomorrow I've got a Russian vocabulary quiz. We have to study nearly 80 words, and there are only going to be 15 on the quiz. Wtf? I was supposed to give my oral presentation tomorrow as well, but I got that moved to Tuesday, thank goodness.
Alek talked to his dad about coming up to see me for a few days during his Spring Break (next week). I was definitely thinking that he would be strongly opposed to the idea, but he actually said that he wasn't against it so long as Alek makes good grades. :D So that is super exciting.
I discovered that I have a loose window pane. Roo was up in her cat tree, investigating something behind the mount of the blinds. He placed both her front paws on the window to get a better angle, and the window creaked. I pushed lightly on the pane, and it moved. O.o Windows aren't supposed to do that... Could explain my leaky windows. I put in a maintenance request which should get taken care of tomorrow. So yay for possibly figuring out the problem... Even though it's supposed to storm tonight and I now have a slightly pushed out window pane. x.x And possibly more loose ones on the other windows.
Other than that, I've been fairly engrossed in schoolwork and rewatching Arrested Development and catching up on other shows. I watched 21 Grams, which is a really great movie that everyone should see. It's available for free (legally!) on hulu.com. I went to an academic adviser for the first time; mine is a godsend. I don't know what I did without her the last few semesters. Oh wait, yes I do - I managed to duplicate a class and take a few classes that I don't really need. However, taking those unnecessary classes has enabled me to possibly double minor. Psychology and social/political science :) So that's cool.
Also, I've been reading Sherlock Holmes. What I've read so far is quite good, all told from Watson's perspective, which I did not expect. He is far more than the addle-brained sidekick I once thought him to be.
